Chapter one
"DAD!!!" Akane screamed. "Dad Where are you?!"
Ranma and Akane ran towards the pile of smoking rubble and quickly began picking through the wreckage.
"Pops, Mr. Tendo!!!? Can you hear me?" Ranma screamed.
Some where from in the wreckage came a faint voice, its owner having trouble breathing?
"R...a...n...m...a..." choked the voice.
Ranma and akane quickly followed the sound and started digging under the rubble. Under the pile they found a crushed Genma Saotome. His arms and legs were
broken and a piece of wood was puncturing one of his lungs.
"POPS!" Ranma cried. "What happened here?" gasped Ranma quickly kneeling at his father's side.
"There is no time for that boy" Genma spat out having trouble breathing. "Son there is something that I haven't told you about the history of the Anything
Goes School of Martial Arts and why only 2 families practice it." "Unfortunately there is no time for that now."
"Don't talk like that pops!! it'll be ok" Said ranma with tears beginning to well up in his eyes.
"Don't go soft on me now boy, it's a martial artist's way to stay calm in all situations" said genma sternly.
"Yes father." conceded Ranma Choking back his tears.
"Ranma, listen carefully." Genma Winced at the pain it was taking to talk. "Ranma, Go to Cologne She will tell you everything and give you what is
rightfully yours."
"Why dad?" asked Ranma tears welling up in his eyes once again.
"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!!!" Ranma's father chastised. Then seeming to realized how much pain he was in said very quietly, "Ranma you have no idea how powerful
and important you really are, It is your destiny to lead the entire Saotome school of anything goes martial arts."
"Dad..." Ranma's words faded out when his father gave him a stern stare.
"Son take these" Genma painfully handed Ranma 2 scrolls. "These are the rarest techniques I have...they are the umisenken and the yamisenken with them you
can prevail over..." There was a long pause as Genma, choking on blood, tried to get the word out of his mouth.
"Over...those...who...have...done...this...too...us." With that Genma took one last breath and died.
"DAD!!!!!! NO!!!" Ranma Yelled bending over his father, tears streaming down his face.
Through the entire ordeal Akane watched in horror as Ranma's father died right before her eyes.
"Ran-" Akane was cut off by the sharp look Ranma gave her.
"Akane" Ranma said slowly and solemnly. "My father is dead and I swear by and god who can hear me I WILL AVENGE HIS DEATH!!!"
All Akane could do was nod she had NEVER see so much passion in Ranma's eyes. It frightened her a little bit. Akane suddenly snapped to the realization that
her Dad...AND SISTERS could be trapped under this wreck!
"Ranma!!" she yelled. "We have to see if my father and my sisters are under this mess!!"
Ranma was silent. Then slowly getting up from his position at his father's side. He gave Akane a nod and started digging through the mess.
Not a thing was said for the next hour as Ranma and Akane dug through the piles of wood and concrete that were once they're home. After about an hours of
searching they gave up and sat down to rest. It was getting dark and cold.
"Ranma, We didn't find any sign of my father or my sisters in this pile" Akane said worriedly.
"That probably means they weren't home when it happened..." Ranma said quietly, Thinking about his father.
"That's good" Replied Akane.
"Whatever" Ranma Said. "Look, Its getting late and its getting cold we should find somewhere to stay for the night"
"Doesn't Ukyo have a spare bed?" Inquired Akane.
"Yeah but aren't you afraid that I will Go into her Room and sleep with her during the night" Ranma Asked sarcastically.
"Feh, I could care less" Akane starting to get a little angry.
With that the pair headed to Ucchans okinamiyaki restaurant.
"DAD!!!" Akane screamed. "Dad Where are you?!"
Ranma and Akane ran towards the pile of smoking rubble and quickly began picking through the wreckage.
